hi,
my usual german bonsai forum is a bit slow so i thought i try a new forum...
ive got a common hornbeam which i would like to cut in half, i did remove 2cm (0,78 inch) of the bark of the tree where i would like to cut it.
im not really sure how this process is called in english, in germany its "abmoosen".
the part where the bark is removed theres a container around it with the same height containing perlit which ive been keeping moist all the time so that the three will create new roots at this point.
its been almost a month now, some sources say that 6-8 weeks will do to create new roots.
should i cut the tree now or wait till the next year....could it survive with its new roots?
